A Day Worth Commemorating

Today started before I even woke up... in Dreamland. I'll do my best to recall the dream(s) or at least the ideas and the players. I'll leave it up to interpretation.

I was in Singapore in the body of Julian Assange (founder of Wiki in case you don't know). I was seeing the scene, as well as him, but I knew I was me. Through his body I heard us say, "I can't leave Singapore."

I woke up... from the dream I was dreaming in my dream, to find myself talking to Vrinda, (the daughter of the folks I stayed with in Singapore.) She turned 10 this month, although she claimed the age when I met her in February. I was helping her clean up some papers and her mom, Dipali, saw that we were okay and went to do some scanning. (Note - I have some photo scanning to do.) I asked Vrinda if she'd ever had an out-of-body experience (I was about to explain my dream to her.) She didn't know what that was and just looked at her mom to explain it.

Someplace else, like an apartment... no where I've been before, there's a knock on the door. It's not my place but I'm staying there. Two girls are at the door. They are American (White). My subconscious doesn't recognize them, but my dream-self knows them. They saw me walking down some street and followed me to this "flat." The driver... and somehow I know she's the driver, says, "Thought you could sneak into Singapore...?" the implicit accusation being... and not being noticed by them. The other girl, I knew. As I'm being surprised about being recognized in a foreign country, she walks into another room, "plops" down on the sofa and tells me she's pregnant.

"It's not mine." Did I say that out loud? It was unnecessary, because we both knew it wasn't mine.

I think the alarm went off and that situation was left unresolved.

Woke up... 0400 and went into day 3 of my new AM Exercise/Body Weight Training (BWT) - I figure if I can do this for the next 90 days, it will make a difference. It's straight body movement and includes kicking, twisting, some yoga-stuff, deep squats, balance work and shoulder pushups. BWT makes me sweat and makes me stronger and I don't have much time to do it... which is okay because it doesn't take much time to do... 30 - 40 minutes.

There were two items on my to-do list today - first, submit the paperwork required for me to retire from my gig of 29 years, plus... (on the actual day I will leave.) Two, as part of the retirement requirement(s) - I activated my "smart phone" and have been "playing" with it. There's a steep learning curve, however I think it will level out.. all I have to do is read the directions and not be so anxious to to move too fast with her, um.. it.

Mondays are extreme workout days.. I leave the gig, train (BWT & weights and band work) for about 45 minutes then teach a fitness class. I added some BWT to the mix, because I figure if it benefits me, it will help my peeps out as well.... then walked home.. 2.5 miles when I was finished.

Then, I kind of followed the signs. I promised myself I'd look into veterans' opportunities in every city I visit. Since the first stop is Miami, I searched there; found an online class for free to learn how to trade stocks. Not very "Me" at all, however, since I've been listing to the alternative money media

guys, I've been learning a little about economics, forecasting, charts and bullion and the rigged economic system. One host said, "Learn to trade, it's not that hard." Today, through the wisdom of the universe, this opportunity came along... so following the signs, I enrolled. Starts October 17th, lasts a month. I seriously doubt I'll be working for a firm... but I think it will be a good skill to have, or at least some experience in it.

People have been asking me what I'm going to do. I have an idea... nothing I do is ever set in stone because other opportunities arise that I'm compelled to follow. Here is my imagined itinerary.

First stop, Miami. Hang with Stazja and visit some Florida friends until after her birthday in late January.

Second stop, Los Angeles, with Xave.. lots of people to see and hang with out in Cali. Figure to stay there until just after my birthday. Which will be a transitional one.. more on that later.

Next stop.. sometime before the sun crosses back into the "New Year" (the house of Aries), back to Singapore to celebrate Bally's birthday. I'm not sure how long I can stay in SG, but I can't go there without visiting Jini in Kuala Lumpur. Maybe I can hang around that area, Penang, Thailand, Vietnam, for a while... maybe for the Spring.

Next, there's an immersion English (teaching) program I have yet to volunteer for, but it's in Spain. Maybe I can get to Spain by the Summer, do that week or two, and then visit my friend Tamara, who I met the first year I trained at Temple. She lives in Spain.

I'm guessing I can hop the Euro-train to the UK and make my way to Dublin for Chamnan's wedding in August.

Then what?? Not sure.. thinking about coming back to this side, but it may be better to go back to Singapore.

So, I have ideas up until August of 2017.

Maybe those trading classes will come in handy.
